Ive had 3 idea for my FMP
1. Come Die With Me
Come Die With Me is a parody of Come Dine With Me in which 5 horror characters do Come Dine With Me. It will have 5 episodes 1 for each person. it will not have a script and all be improv as it is with come dine with me. This will be a comedy with a bit of cooking when come dine with me is cooking with a hint of comedy.
2. The League
The league is a action short film in which a League of assassins with demonic powers fight each other to be the head of the organization and fighting for their own survival when templars want to destroy them. This will be a short film about 15mins long.
3. Battle of the garden
Battle of the garden is a black comedy action in which a kid is playing with army men having a battle in the garden. This will keep cutting with the imagination of the kid who playing with these toys. This will be a short film 10mins long.

the video and evaluation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKkU2NvjT00&feature=youtu.be
The Brief was to make a advert for a local youth group so they can put the video on their webpage. We came up with this idea after having a meeting with Justin ( captain of boys and girls brigade), as they don't need a training video as its all volunteer work as you don't need any training to do any of this work. Me and Michael worked well as a team. Michael did most of the filming and editing. When i went out and got the client and did all the direct talking to him. I let Michael do most of the filming and editing as he don't really do it before till then as he was always an actor so i wanted to see if he could do but with my help. We did finish it to the time scale for the client as he wanted to by the 24/06/14 however we don't complete it to the scale for the college which was early this year. We had to filming it at night time as that was the time groups started and ended on friday and tuesday. This was in issue as we had to film out side one of theses nights. Cost wise it was fine as it was in south church which is the next stop from southend central so the price for a train ticket was the same for both stations. Legal issue was a problem as 3 of the kids could not be filmed for reasons. so we had to try not to film them or if we did we will have to edit them out. The finished product was good overall I though it showed of the youth group as what it is ( a fun place to be). I like the fact that the outside shots where in it as i thought it might be a bit to dark to see whats going on. The only thing i don't like was the fact that the writing was hard to read due to its colour blended into the background to much and their was no logo of the youth group in the video. We got good feedback over from the client he thought it looked good but he don't like the fact their was no logo in it. The video is not on Facebook so we got no feed back from that and on youtube its got too little view and no comments so no feedback their. Overall i like the finished video as it looks good, we got free music and the kids we can't film were not in the video. however it does need the logo and readable text before it the client will be really happy with it.

sound work sheet
The film 300 rise of an empire has surround sound used in the film to help match its 3D visual effects.
In imax cinemas theirs 8 speakers to other cinemas 5.1 speakers. These speakers help give the audience the feel of the movie by using sound alone. The picture below shows how the sound effects the audience. In a standard cinema the middle is the best point for the sound. but for the Imax the whole cinema gets the sound and this makes the audience get more involved with the film. Imax cinemas are also pitch perfect so that the audience doesn't hear sound effects over voices and so foley is the right pitch of the right parts for the film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82RTzi5Vt7w - Saving Private Ryan - scene
sounds break down of the scene first 4 mins
0-38 seconds- waves calm, waves rough, wind, harmonics, boat engine, holding the drink canter, drinking.
38-1 min- person throwing up, spitting, men talking
1 min- 1:30- foot steps, Rockets firing and explosions, coughing,
1:30- 2 mins- engines cutting out, picking up chain, kissing the cross,whistle, metal wheel spinning, bullets firing, people being hit by bullets, bullets hitting metal, bodies hitting the floor.
2 mins-2:30- people jumping into water, underwater, bullets in the water
2:30-3 mins- sound of water, person pulling strap underwater, running through water,
3-4 mins no new sounds
Sounds film live
Waves calm- This is because the sounds would be been easy to get on the day, You can also hear the next waves coming in to the shore as the last one is heading back to the sea, the work need to be done to get this sound just right would of been a lot of work to get the same effect as filming it on the day.
Talking- The talking and shouting scenes would of been done on the day as it is when you have all the actors at the same place. How ever they might of ADR some of the background sound on 2:30-3 mins.
foot steps- foot steps would of been added filmed on the day but might of added foley to them later.
Foley
Holding drink- the clink sound from picking up metal would of been done foley.
picking up chain- the way the metal chain would hit it self( metal hitting metal) would be foley.
people being hit by bullets, bullets hitting metal, bodies hitting the floor- these would all so be done by foley they would all be done similar but with 1-2 differences to them( material or way you used the object).
Music
Their is a light charming sound for 1-3 seconds that is a different sound than the boat engines but with out it the boat engines would sound wrong.
SFX
All the other sounds would added this way.

problem
1 day before I start filming 4 out of 5 actors cant make the shoot and I can only get 1 replacement to help me with this. Due to this issue I'm going to have to rethink my idea and write a script to it so I can still film tomorrow. - 16/05/2014
On the day of filming I managed to get another actor and if I act that will be 4 actors so I will remove one of the characters. -17/05/2014

Viral advert proposal
My Advert idea is on Terrace and Philip from South Park and their spin off TV show "With Out My Anus". The advert has Terrace and Philip talking with the Canadian spinning in the background and Terrace farting. Terrace and Philip are the mean charters of the show and their Canadian thats why they are there and same for the flag. They fart as thats what Terrance and Philip do fart and laugh about it all the time. These three elements show you what will be in the show.
I'll make this advert using after effects, final cut, sound track pro and photoshop.
I'll make Terrance and Philip in Photoshop so I can have them as different layers and i needed this to keyframe them to different positions other wise it won't work. I'll Need to keyframe them to different positions and after effects is the best software for this. Sound track pro will be used to match the sound to the advert and final cut will be used to add the sound to the video and to add voices to Terrance and Philip.
I don't have spend any money for this advert as i have all the software at home or college but if I don't have college to help me then ill need to spend £100+ on the software.
As this is an advert for a made up show it won't ever get paid for it .

Research on CDWM
Research on Similar projects
Come Dine With Me is a channel 4 show in which 4-5 people are trying to win £1000 by hosting the best dinner party. Come dine with me started in January 2005 and is still on going. Dave Lamb gives off a comical element with his narration. Their is 31 series for come dine with me. Come dine with me is shown is 24 countries world wide including south Africa , Russia and Iran and India. Series 26 ep 25 was a Celebrity horror special With Sally Morgan(Psychic), Robert Englund (Freddy Kureger) , Alex Reid (fighter) and Nicola McLean (model). I mention this as it has a similar title idea on my Come die with me idea but i think the people in it apart from Robert Englund were not to do with the subject.
I found a similar idea parody to my Come Die With Me its called Big brother house of horrors by Robot Chicken . Robot Chicken make parodies on film and Tv shows like Friday the 13, Star wars and DC Comics. Big Brother House of Horrors is similar to my idea of Come Die With Me as it also has famous horror characters in a TV reality show.
Laws for parody
The law in the UK is clear about parodies your not aloud to make them unless you have permission to use the copyrighted material. I don't have the right to use the material for Come Die With Me but ill be making this for college reasons and won't be putting this on youtube or Facebook so I won't have to worry about these laws.
